Drivers' championship
Notes: The pole winner also receives one bonus point, similar to the previous ARCA points system used until 2019 and unlike NASCAR. Additionally, after groups of five races of the season, drivers that compete in all five races receive fifty additional points. These points bonuses will be given after the races at Colorado and Madera. Trevor Huddleston, Mason Massey, Robbie Kennealy, Hailie Deegan, Eric Johnson Jr., Cole Denton, Andrew Chapman, Gavin Ray, Mia Lovell, and David Smith received this points bonus for having competed in the first five races of the season (Kern in February, Phoenix in March, Tucson, Shasta, and Colorado). Huddleston, Massey, Kennealy, Deegan, Denton, Johnson, Chapman, Lovell, Ray, and Smith recived this points bonus for having competed in the next five races (Tri-City, Sonoma, Portland, Roseville, and Madera).
